Description:
The last stop on your Bosnia tour is a gooder: the tiny village of Pocitelj which dates back to at least the Middle Ages and is under consideration to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Built precipitously into the hillside overlooking the tranquil Neretva river, the town is fortified with thick rock walls, and the small wooden homes and stalls selling traditional handicrafts are linked with winding stone staircases.
Historic Pocitelj is beloved for its gorgeous Turkish-influenced architecture which includes minarets marking the mosque below, an impressive fortress and clock tower, making it feel like the kind of place where time has simply stood still.
